Mediterranean Couscous Platter recipe

6 servings

Ingredients:

1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup dry couscous

2/3 cup bottled olive oil vinaigrette, divided

1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions

1 (6 ounce) can pitted black olives

1 (5 ounce) can chicken breast, solid or chunk tuna in oil or water, or anchovies, drained

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil.

Stir in couscous.

Cover pan and remove from heat.

Let stand about 10 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

Fluff couscous with a fork, then toss with 1/3 cup of the vinaigrette.

To assemble, place couscous in center of a large platter or divide among serving plates.

Arrange artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives and chicken (or tuna or anchovies) separately but surrounding the couscous; drizzle with remaining 1/3 cup vinaigrette.
